    Depending on which distro you installed, pigdin might be already on there. Pigdin supports yahoo messenger.

    If it's not installed, go here: Download Pidgin, the universal chat client

    Hi, Raj! Welcome to LinuxForums!

    You might also want to check your package manager for Pidgin. What distro are you using?

    Linux 9.0? Do you mean Fedora 9?
    If you used the package manager, then you shouldn't have to do anything extra. Just look in the Applications menu.

    If you downloaded it form the website I gave you, then there should be a READMD file in there that will tell you exactly what to do. However, if you have a package manager, use that, it takes a lot less work, and there will be no errors.
